IIFT Placement 2023 witnessed 108 companies, an average CTC of Rs 29.10 Lakhs per annum, and a median CTC of Rs 26.5 Lakhs per annum. The highest domestic CTC offered stood at Rs 75.6 Lakhs per annum. The top 25% of students of the batch received an average CTC of Rs 46.9 Lakhs per annum.

IIT BHU is one of the best engineering colleges in our country. So its placements are certainly good. The placements are slightly better for B.Techs, but even M.Techs receive ample opportunities. The placements are above 90% for CS, IT,EXTC, and core specializations. 

If you get a chance to become a part of IIT BHU, you should definitely consider joining. However, for that, you’ll need a good GATE score. Apart from the placements, its academics will polish your knowledge and learning.

The goal of Executive Programs is to enhance the already existing skills of working professionals. The worth of the main Executive Program of any given institute depends on the following 2 factors

• Fees: The total fee of the Executive Program at IIM Rohtak is ?7.86 Lakhs (Total Fees). The same programs of other top B Schools range from 3-5 lakhs depending on no. of subjects and level of engagement. So considering the high fees, IIM Rohtak’s Executive Program is not worth it.
• Ranking: The reputation of the B School you are planning to pursue the Executive Program from is very crucial. The PGP from lower-ranked B Schools have very less value in comparison to older IIMs. Unfortunately, IIM Rohtak is nowhere near the top 10 IIMs so their Executive Programs fare much below in terms of brand value.

Due to the above reasons the Executive Programs at IIM Rohtak have no placement assistance at all.

Thapar University does not release official data for branch-wise placements so I contacted a friend who is currently pursuing a COE course there. 

As per the information he shared, the recent highest package received by a COE student at Thapar University stood at INR 39 lakhs while the average package of COE was in the range of 10-12 lakhs. The placement percentage is usually around 100% although only the most skilled ones receive packages above 10-15 LPA.

The kind of companies and the packages they offer depend on your soft and technical skills. Here, you have to work hard to get offers from the best companies else you will remain unplaced. It’s better to start preparing for the interviews in the 3rd year itself when you have to sit for internships. 

My brother did his B.Tech in Mining Engineering from NIT Rourkela. Here is a list of companies that recruit NIT Rourkela students from this branch-

1. Tata Steel- It is the best company for Mining graduates. Work culture at Tata Steel is better than the other companies visiting NIT R for placements. The hand salary offered at Tata Steel is 60-70k.
2. Coal India Ltd.- Work culture over there depends upon how you wish to shape your future. The in hand salary for employees posted in UG mines is 45-46k, in OC mines are 42-43k, and in Headquarters is 40-41k. In a Government of India-regulated firm like Coal India, there is a specific pay scale based on seniority. Coal India Ltd. makes campus recruitments at E2 grade with a basic pay of 20k+ for every employee, from Mining, Finance, Personnel and Excavation. The difference in the salaries of UG, OC and Headquarters employees is because of the additional UG and Coalfield allowance granted to the UG and OC employees.

Also, a certain amount gets deducted from your salary every month because of a 5 year bond. You will get the money after completing 5 years with the firm.

1. Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (Vedanta)- The work culture at this company is not good. For like 8 hours each day, you will hear words like production, development, availability and utilization. In hand salary is around 52k + incentives.
2. Hindalco- The in-hand salary is around 32-33k.

Another firm that recruits Mining students from NIT Rourkela is Lafarge. Overall, the placements for Mining at NIT Rourkela are quite decent.

The FPM or Fellow Program in Management at IIM Kozhikode does have its own placement program. This is because the batch size is very small. 

But the FPM program in itself is such a meticulous one that all its students become scholars or researchers. The recent data confirms that most of its fellows have been placed in the top IIMs or other reputed Management Schools ranked high on NIRF.

The only thing you need to be careful about is not delaying your thesis work and having good publications. If not you might face problems at the time of placements.

The FPM degree has been renamed as the PhD and IIM Kozhikode provides excellent placements for the same.
